The plan is to visitthe saloons, hold prayer-meetings in them,and by pcr-ux-ion induce dealers to stop thebusiness. .At Wilmington popular feelinghas been so fully arou-ed that it is reportedthat every drinking saloon is elo.-ed. AtSabina a like result has lieen reached. At(jllipolis a Temperance Ix-aguc was organized. A procession of 80 ladies vi-itcd thedrinking saloons, and by prayers and appcalendcavorcd to stop the traffic. At somehouses the doors were clo-ed against them,but they held their devotional excrci-es ujmnthe steps. At one saloon, known as the"Koblicrs' Koost," they purchased the entire stock, and emptied the liquors into thegutter amid the ringing of eliuieh-liclls andthe cheers of the lookcrs-on.At Xcvr Vienna the same movement haslieen liegun. meetings have been held daily,and a round of calls was recently made umnsaloon keepers. All went smoothly untilthe ladies reached the saloon of one Vanlelt. I'luin entering his den they were ordered to leave but declined and liegan theirdevotional excrci-e-. During a prayer whenthe leader uttered the words, May thelaird liuptize him with his Holy Spirit," theenraged Van IVlt seized a bucket of lilthywatcr and hurled the content- over them saying, ' d you 111 Iciptize vou.' Ilereticated his act without cau-ing any intcrrujtiun in the excrci-es, and finding dirty waterof no avail, he liegan to throw liecr uhi theladies until they were finally dr'ucn from hiiW thoroughly drenched. They fini-hedtheir excrci-es lont-ide his dimr, while hestood at the window denouncing them withhorrible imprecations. Iublie indignationagainst him is fully arou-ed, and it is proliable the men ill the town will lini-Ii thework by the de-truetnm ol his place orbu-i-ness.Kentucky cor- into the temiicniiico reformbiisincs- with the rashness ol inciericncc.A lull has lieen introduced into the Ij-gi-u-turcdcsicnctl to entirely -top the sale ofevery kind of ardent -pirit- in the commonwealth.There via- an upr.iar in the jail at Alfred.Me., a few d.i- ago.
